"Alright, you two, stop complaining!" Flender and Yu Xiaogang walked over at this moment. "From now on, the best way for you to improve is to work harder in your training!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang and Flender, Qi Ling smiled and said, "Well, Grandmaster, Dean, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
Yu Xiaogang maintained his serious expression and said to Qi Ling, "Nonsense! Qi Ling, do you know that your impulsiveness at the start could very well affect your performance in this match! This is a formal battle; how can you act so emotionally!"
Flender then advised, "Sigh, Xiaogang, Qi Ling is just being sentimental. After all, Xiao San and Xiao Wu were hurt so badly; it's hard for anyone to bear it."
"You can't gamble with your life! Besides, you don't know what their trump cards are. What if you can't withstand their attacks? Do you think Xiao Wu and Xiao San would want to see that happen?"
Faced with Yu Xiaogang's reprimand, Qi Ling knew that the Grandmaster was genuinely concerned, so she sincerely said, " Grandmaster, I understand. I won't make that mistake again."
Flender chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiaogang, Qi Ling has already admitted his mistake, so please don't criticize him anymore."
"And I have more good news for you. The teachers who stayed at school told me that Xiao Wu and Tang San just woke up one after the other! Let's hurry back!"
With Xiao Wu and Tang San awake, this was naturally the most important thing. So, everyone disregarded everything else and rushed back to the Shrek Academy.
Inside the medical room, Qi Ling rushed in, asking, " Xiao San, Xiao Wu, how are you...?"
The already crowded medical room was now filled with all sorts of food. Xiao Wu, as if she hadn't eaten for days, ate the food on the table without any restraint.
Compared to Xiao Wu's unrestrained nature, Tang San appeared much more refined at this moment, holding a bowl of hot porridge and drinking it slowly and leisurely, as if even the porridge had gained a touch of poetry.
The two had been seriously injured, and in order to heal them as quickly as possible without harming their bodies, Qi Ling used medicine to mobilize their Soul Power so that they could heal themselves with their own strength.
The result of the massive consumption of Soul Power is the need for a large amount of food, which was something Qi Ling had instructed beforehand, hence the mountain of food.
Seeing Qi Ling enter, Xiao Wu immediately put down the food she was holding and rushed into his arms, saying, " Brother Qi! You're finally back! I missed you so much!"
Qi Ling didn't mind Xiao Wu's greasy mouth at all, and happily hugged her, saying, "Yes, I'm back. I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, you suffered while I was away."
Qi Ling then looked at Tang San and said, " Xiao San, are you alright? Your injuries are much more serious than Xiao Wu's, so you can't be careless!"
Tang San said, "I'm fine now, brother. I feel much better after taking your medicine."
The others also returned one after another. Seeing Xiao Wu and Tang San, who were weak but clearly out of danger, they were all happy.
Ning Rongrong, in particular, immediately grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and said to her, " Xiao Wu, you're finally awake! You don't know, Qi Ling was so impressive just now, he took down the entire Imperial Fighting Team all by himself!"
Xiao Wu and Tang San were stunned and looked at Qi Ling. Xiao Wu even asked, "What? Brother Qi, is this true? When did you fight against the Imperial Fighting Team again?"
"Of course it's true!" Ning Rongrong interjected. "And also, when Qi Ling came back and saw you and Tang San injured, he looked absolutely terrifying, like he was about to devour you!"
"I didn't..." Qi Ling protested weakly.
However, his explanation clearly did not gain the approval of others. Ma Hongjun nodded and said, "Yes, indeed. At that time, I had even thought about what I would write in my will. Boss Qi is really terrifying when he gets angry!"
Xiao Wu hugged Qi Ling again, feeling incredibly sweet, and said, "Hehe, Brother Qi, I didn't know you were so worried about me!"
Tang San said guiltily, "I'm sorry, big brother, I made you worry. Also, I disappointed you; we actually lost to the Imperial Fighting Team."
" Xiao San, the fault doesn't lie with you, it's with me. I misjudged the opponent's strength, which led to this result," Qi Ling said. "After all, Yu Tianba's strength is indeed beyond your capabilities."
Ma Hongjun then said from the side, "Hehe, what's the use of him being strong? He still lost to you, Boss Qi!"
Oscar nodded vigorously and said, "That's right! I wonder who will dare to call themselves a Boss Qi in front of you, Boss Qi? You're practically a genius harvester!"
"Wow! Brother Qi, you're so impressive! Rongrong, tell me quickly, what happened next?" Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled Ning Rongrong, making her recount everything that happened afterward.
So Ning Rongrong recounted how Qi Ling challenged the Imperial Fighting Team, and how she single-handedly defeated them all, forcing them to admit defeat.
Ning Rongrong, who was well-educated, told these stories in great detail. Not only Xiao Wu and Xiao San listened with rapt attention, but everyone else also listened with great interest.
"But in the end, that vixen still got the better of me!" Ning Rongrong said, still harboring resentment.
Realizing she had blurted out her innermost thoughts on Shi Xing, Ning Rongrong blushed instantly.
Xiao Wu then said, "That should be me!"
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, everyone gasped in surprise and turned to look at Qi Ling.
" Qi Ling, is this true?" Oscar asked in disbelief.
"Hmm... I guess it's true!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
"But, but, you and Xiao Wu aren't..." Oscar, unable to understand.
Seeing everyone's expressions, as if they were determined to gossip to the end, Qi Ling said helplessly, "Actually, it's very simple. It's just that the other day, Xiao Wu listened to some nonsense and then... then..."
"Then, Xiao Wu, have you been with any other people...?" Ning Rongrong asked with concern.
"Of course not, because my favorite is only Brother Qi! Although I like Brother San too, there's still something different about him..." Xiao Wu said.
"I also told Xiao Wu later that kissing shouldn't be done so casually," Qi Ling said helplessly, "But it seems that this girl doesn't really listen."
"Because I like Brother Qi the most!" Xiao Wu said coquettishly.
